The Seine near Giverny 1897

Claude Monet’s 1897 painting "The Seine near Giverny" is a quintessential example of Impressionism. The artist's signature loose brushstrokes capture the soft light of the setting sun, creating a sense of atmosphere and movement. The reflection of the trees in the water is rendered with remarkable detail, highlighting the water's shimmering surface. The overall effect is serene and tranquil, inviting viewers to experience the beauty of the natural world through Monet’s eyes.
